Released in 1998, Six Days Seven Nights is an action, comedy, adventure and romance film directed by Ivan Reitman, running about 98 minutes. “After this week in paradise, they’re going to need a vacation.” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. In the South Pacific island of Makatea, career-driven magazine editor Robin Monroe is on a week-long vacation getaway with her boyfriend, Frank Martin. An emergency work assignment in neighboring Tahiti requires Robin to hire the cantankerous pilot Quinn Harris who had flown them to the island on a sea plane. While flying, a powerful storm forces Quinn to make an emergency landing on a nearby deserted island. The dissimilar pair avoid each other at first, until they're forced to team up to escape from the island -- and some pirates who want their heads.

Who’s in it. Six Days Seven Nights stars Harrison Ford as Quinn Harris, Anne Heche as Robin Monroe, David Schwimmer as Frank Martin and Jacqueline Obradors as Angelica, among others.
